Great Video. Glad to see you are enjoying your car.

Question though. Are the regular brake and gas pedal still functioning or do the hand controls not allow them from working?

The gas and brake pedals are still fully functional so anyone can drive the car. Well, maybe not anyone. You can only move the seat forward so far before it begins to hit the lever and push it forward...constantly applying the brake. My GF has no problems driving it though.

So far I have already blown some decent cash and the car still has temp tags. Here we go again. haha I got a 1080 sub box, JL audio 10W6 sub, JL audio 500/1V2 amp, 25mm wheel spacers front and rear, Ipod interface and am having the windows tinted 35% on Saturday. I have to take the car to a guy to install the stereo equipment. Damn it. Oh well.

you dont need anything under the hood bro, get some coils and a nice set of wheels and your set!

Look in the marketplace at hood dampers/shocks. Those might be useful for you since they push and hold the hood up as long as you unlatch it

welcome brian and glad to hear your looking forward. i was in a wreck 4 years ago and they told me i would never walk again but they didn't even have all the information about my accident so i was lying there and had that goin through my head. i say don't let anyone tell you that you can't do something if you believe in it enough its possible. the menox looks clean and i can't wait to see what plans you have for the car

Brian good to see you're "back in the saddle" so to speak. You truly are am inspiration to me and an example of mind over matter. I'm glad to see you are doing the things in life that you enjoy no matter what obstacles life throws at you.

Keep it up man!! (BTW still loving the PC I got from you earlier in the year, thanks again.)
